How to Make Nameless Spice Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour two 8-inch or 9-inch round cake pans, or one bundt pan. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) shortening and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add 3 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Stir in 2 teaspoons vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground cloves, 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg, ½ teaspoon ground allspice, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
- Stir in ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional).
- Pour batter into the prepared pan(s).
- Bake for 30-35 minutes for round cakes, or 50-60 minutes for a bundt cake, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely. Frost with cream cheese frosting or serve with whipped cream.
